THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1940 A large part of the estate, $14,â€" 000, was found to be in cash in banks. A small sum, 213 pounds, is on deposit in a bank in the Isle of Main. This represents payments from tenants who live in property owned by Mrs. Moore there. She was born on the Isle of Man. For more than a half a 'century prior to her death she made her home in Highwood. Mrs. Moore had drawn her own will on a legal form she obtained March 15, 1938. Another bequest was to Anthony J. Arnold, father of Edwin, who owed Mrs, Moore money on a mortâ€" gage on his home in Highland Park. The will gave him a paidâ€"up mortâ€" gage but the record did not set up the amount of the unpaid balance. Minor bequests included $500 each to Hattie Touhy, Chicago, a grandâ€" niece, and William and Charles Kneen, nonâ€"relatives, who live on the Isle of Man, a small island off the coast of England, where the British now quarter German priâ€" soners of war.
